The Jeff Dornik Show
Free speech, culture, censorship, Big Tech, and the conversations shaping the future are all colliding in real time, and most people are only seeing a small piece of the picture. The Jeff Dornik Show brings together voices from across politics, business, health, faith, and culture to have real conversations that cut through narratives and get to the truth.Hosted by Jeff Dornik, founder and CEO of Pickax, this show is built on one premise: the most important ideas are often the ones that are ignored, suppressed, or misunderstood. Through in-depth interviews and direct discussions, Jeff explores the forces influencing our...
Trump Endorsed Lindsey Graham's Sister. Yep, She Won. Now What? | Chad Caton | The Jeff Dornik Show
Chad Caton joins The Jeff Dornik Show to break down Darline Graham Nordone’s victory in the South Carolina Republican Senate primary after receiving Donald Trump’s endorsement. Yes, Lindsey Graham’s sister is now the GOP nominee, because apparently South Carolina politics decided we needed a sequel. But the bigger issue is what conservatives do when Trump throws his weight behind an establishment Republican they fundamentally disagree with and that candidate wins. Do we abandon the GOP, keep fighting from within, hold our noses in November, or start getting serious about why the wrong people keep making it through Republ...
200 Chinese Bots? Quick, Declare World War III | Jeff Dornik Interview on The Alan Nathan Show
Apparently 200 Chinese bot accounts are enough to explain away Americans’ concerns about AI data centers, so naturally the next logical step is World War III. I joined The Alan Nathan Show to break down the hysteria over foreign bot farms, the bizarre double standard over when online propaganda suddenly becomes an “act of war,” and why legitimate concerns about AI data centers don’t magically disappear because China tried to amplify them. We also get into government-run influence operations, the strange political coalitions forming around AI, Big Tech’s rush to build massive data centers, rising pressure on the power grid, and...
Social Media Is Rigged. I Brought a Pickax. | Jeff Dornik Interview on Tools of the Trade
I joined VapinGamers and This Is The Ray on Tools of the Trade for a wide-ranging conversation about why social media stopped being social, how algorithms train creators to make content for computers, why fake engagement and bot-inflated metrics have poisoned the creator economy, and what we’re building with Pickax to get back to real human connection. We got into censorship, my own history of getting banned and blacklisted, Rumble, X, YouTube, Twitch, creator monetization, our first RevShare payouts, Pickax’s 36.5% average engagement rate, and our growth from roughly 180,000 post views in July to more than 500,000 in August. Somewhere in t...
China Loves AI. Your Electric Bill Might Not. | Jeff Dornik Interview on Newsmax
I joined Newsmax to talk about the fight over AI data centers, China’s influence campaigns and the very real concerns Americans have about what this massive infrastructure buildout means for their communities. China absolutely has an incentive to flood our information ecosystem with fear about American AI development while racing ahead with its own, but that does not magically make every criticism of data centers Chinese propaganda. Many of these facilities are still pulling enormous amounts of electricity from local grids, consuming natural resources and forcing communities to absorb costs they never agreed to. America needs to win the AI...
AI Data Centers: China, Power Bills & the Moon | Jeff Dornik Interview on The Matt Gaetz Show
AI data centers are popping up across America, draining massive amounts of electricity and water while communities are being told it’s all necessary so we can beat China in the artificial intelligence arms race. I joined The Matt Gaetz Show to break down what’s actually true, what’s being exaggerated, and why two things can be true at the same time: China has every incentive to influence the debate over American AI development, and Americans have very legitimate reasons to question giant data centers showing up in their communities. We get into skyrocketing power bills, natural resources, centralized techno...
Flock Cameras: Big Brother Got an AI Upgrade | Jeff Dornik Interview on Talk Truth
Big Brother used to need binoculars. Now apparently he has AI. I joined Corey and Alan Hunsberger on Talk Truth to break down the growing surveillance infrastructure behind Flock cameras, AI-powered tracking, Big Tech algorithms, data collection and the wonderfully reassuring promise that it’s all “for your safety.” We get into how technology built to catch criminals can become infrastructure for tracking ordinary Americans, why algorithmic control over information is its own form of manipulation, the dangers of giving centralized systems too much power, and why Christians should be especially skeptical when man starts trying to play God. Most import...
Charlie Kirk’s Murder: The Story Isn’t Adding Up | Jeff Dornik Interview on SGT Report
I joined SGT Report to dig into the growing list of questions surrounding the official story of Charlie Kirk’s murder, the strange parallels with the assassination attempts on Donald Trump, and the media’s increasingly desperate version of “stop thinking and trust the experts.” We get into Candace Owens, Kash Patel, the FBI, Israel, censorship, X turning “free speech” into something with rather interesting fine print, and why centralized control over information and money should concern everyone. We also talk about Pickax and why rebuilding direct, human relationships online matters more than ever. Apparently, noticing inconsistencies is a dangerous hobby now.
X Cut Creator Payouts. Pickax Said Hold My Whiskey | Jeff Dornik Interview on The Whiskey Capitalist Podcast
I joined The Whiskey Capitalist Podcast to talk about what happens when social media platforms forget the creators who actually built their audiences. Pickax had just started paying its first group of creators when X announced cuts to its revenue-share program, while creators were also complaining about weaker payouts elsewhere. We broke down why Pickax is built to help creators make money, why Rumble and Pickax should amplify each other instead of pretending every platform has to be mortal enemies, how algorithmic reach screws smaller creators, and why building an alternative to Big Tech requires more than slapping “free speech” on t...
Social Media Is Broken. Here Comes the Pickax. | Jeff Dornik on Spin State Podcast
I joined the guys from the Spin State Podcast for nearly three hours of social media heresy: why algorithms have turned “social” media into outrage machines, why creators keep getting jerked around by platforms they helped build, how bots and AI are making the internet progressively less human, and why I built Pickax to go in the opposite direction. We get into censorship, creator monetization, Rumble, Facebook, X, Apple’s App Store shenanigans, the economics of building a social platform, and quite a few rabbit trails that probably seemed like a good idea at the time. The bigger question is simple...
Saint Fauci Meets Contempt of Congress | Senator Ron Johnson | The Jeff Dornik Show
Senator Ron Johnson joins me to discuss the Senate’s move to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after Fauci refused to comply with the committee’s COVID investigation and declined to answer questions at its hearing. Johnson has been digging into the government’s pandemic response for six years, from the suppression of early treatment and the treatment of Dr. Pierre Kory’s ivermectin testimony to COVID vaccine injuries, Fauci’s own diaries, and the glaring contradictions between what government health officials knew privately and told Americans publicly. Apparently “Mr. Science” was perfectly comfortable demanding obedience from the entire cou...
Flock Cameras: Because Freedom Needed a License Plate | Jeff Dornik Interview on The Dr Sky Experience
How much surveillance is too much? On The Dr. Sky Experience on 77 WABC, Jeff Dornik dives into the growing use of Flock cameras, the blurry line between public safety and government surveillance, and what happens when technology gives government the ability to track ordinary Americans everywhere they go. Jeff also shares the story behind his media career and Pickax, while bringing the conversation back to a bigger question: are we willing to surrender freedom and privacy simply because someone promises us safety? Apparently, Big Brother finally discovered license-plate readers.

Big Brother Bought a Traffic Camera | Jeff Dornik on Ringside Politics with Jeff Crouere
Flock cameras are being sold as the next great tool for public safety, but we’re quietly building the technological infrastructure for a surveillance state. I joined Jeff Crouere on Ringside Politics to break down how AI-powered camera networks can track vehicles across communities, why government access to that data should concern anyone who values privacy and constitutional rights, and how quickly technology built to catch criminals can become technology used to monitor ordinary Americans. We’ve already watched government agencies abuse surveillance powers once they were handed the tools. Giving politicians an AI-powered map of where everyone goes and hopi...
Flock Cameras: Big Brother Got a Software Upgrade | Jeff Dornik Interview on The Bill Meyer Show
Flock cameras are building the infrastructure for an American surveillance state, giving government agencies and private companies the power to track where you drive, where you worship, who you visit, and whether your movements meet their approval. On The Bill Meyer Show, I explain how AI-powered license plate readers threaten the Fourth Amendment, eliminate human accountability, and normalize the surrender of constitutional rights one convenient public-safety promise at a time. Apparently the solution to understaffed police departments is putting every innocent American into a rolling digital lineup.

Big Brother Got a License Plate Reader | Jeff Dornik Interview on The Andrea Kaye Show
I joined The Andrea Kaye Show to expose how Flock cameras are quietly building a nationwide surveillance system capable of tracking where Americans drive, worship, eat, meet, and spend time with their families. These AI-powered license plate readers are sold as a convenient way to catch criminals, but the same infrastructure gives government agencies and Big Tech the power to monitor innocent people, weaponize personal data, and lay the groundwork for a Chinese-style social credit system. Technology always comes with a price, and surrendering constitutional freedom for government efficiency is a bill Americans cannot afford to pay.

The Economy Is Booming... So Why Are You Broke? | Dennis Kneale | The Jeff Dornik Show
Former CNBC and Fox Business anchor Dennis Kneale joins me to explain why Americans are losing faith in capitalism even as the stock market and GDP keep climbing. We dig into housing costs, inflation, government regulation, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, and the growing disconnect between the economic numbers celebrated in Washington and the grocery bills crushing actual families. Dennis brings his relentless optimism, I bring the inconvenient questions, and somewhere along the way we determine that socialism still sucks, government is usually standing at the scene of the crime, and Americans may need to stop waiting for politicians to rescue them...
Flock Cameras: Your Car Is Now a Government Informant | Jeff Dornik Interview on The Reckoning
Ryan Hite and I break down how Flock cameras, AI-powered license plate readers, and centralized databases are quietly building the infrastructure for a surveillance state. Sure, they tell us it is only about catching criminals, because government power has never expanded beyond its original sales pitch. We also discuss privacy, COVID-era tyranny, constitutional rights, and why Pickax is rebuilding social media around real people instead of algorithms and censorship.

AI Killed Music... and the Algorithm Gave It a Grammy | Chavez Flexingtn | The Jeff Dornik Show
Artificial intelligence promises to make music faster, cheaper, and more “perfect”—which is apparently what we call eliminating the soul from art with impressive efficiency. Chavez Flexington joins me to expose how AI, commercialism, and cookie-cutter production are replacing authentic creativity across the music industry, Christian music, worship, and entertainment. We also discuss his experience as the original drummer for Casting Crowns, why modern worship has become increasingly self-centered, and why the imperfections of real musicians are precisely what allow music to connect and unite us. Scripture tells us to “sing to him a new song” in Psalm 33:3—not endlessly reproduce th...
Election Security, Now Available on Printer Paper | Interview on DeProgram
I joined Ted Rall, Jamarl Thomas, and Robby West on DeProgram to talk about California’s election system, where ballots can be mailed, printed at home, copied by election workers, separated from identifying information, and then counted weeks later while everyone is expected to respond with the calm confidence of a man watching his luggage disappear at the airport. We discussed voter ID, chain of custody, the SAVE Act, partisan manipulation, federal overreach, and why election integrity cannot depend on trusting whichever party currently controls the process. We also broke down how Pickax rejects algorithmic control and gives creators direct ac...
The GOP’s Worst Nightmare: Actually Governing | Interview on The Andrea Kaye Show
I joined The Andrea Kaye Show to expose why Republican leaders campaign endlessly on election integrity, illegal immigration, government weaponization, and the deep state while repeatedly refusing to solve any of them. Passing the SAVE Act, prosecuting corrupt officials, and enacting President Trump’s agenda would require the GOP establishment to surrender the boogeymen that keep the donation emails flowing, which explains why John Thune appears more comfortable producing congressional theater than producing results. We also discussed Todd Blanche’s refusal to inspire confidence, the increasingly strange questions surrounding Mitch McConnell, and the reality that Republicans helped oversee the election fail...
Can Creators Escape the Algorithm Without Escaping Reality? | Interview on VetTV
I joined VetTV with Joker, Damon and WhiteTigerSavage for a wide-ranging conversation about Pickax, creator ownership and the future of social media, and it turned into exactly the kind of honest discussion this industry needs more often. We explored algorithms, shadow banning, monetization, Rumble integration, anonymous accounts, artificial intelligence, free speech and the challenge of building authentic online communities without losing the human beings inside them. The panel brought thoughtful questions, strong perspectives and plenty of personality, which made for a genuinely engaging conversation about where creators are headed and what it will take to build platforms that actually serve...
Socialists Found the Voters Republicans Forgot | Interview on Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy
The Democratic Socialists are gaining ground because they understand something the Republican establishment apparently misplaced beneath a stack of consultant invoices: voters support the people who clearly identify the problems destroying their lives. In this interview with Kim Kennedy on Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid, I explain why conservatives keep losing the messaging battle, how the Left captured education, entertainment, technology and even parts of the Church, and why another carefully poll-tested speech from Washington will not save the country. Christians and conservatives must recover the courage to change hearts and minds, speak directly to the real suffering of the Am...
The Civil War Can Wait... Hot Yoga Is Still Full | Chad Caton | The Jeff Dornik Show
Chad Caton joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about the political tribalism turning Americans into rival fan clubs, the online Civil War fantasies flourishing while the hot yoga class remains fully booked, and what it will actually take to move this country forward. We get into Lindsey Graham, MAGA’s team-sports problem, Antifa, the cartels and human trafficking networks Chad encountered in Belize, China’s growing foothold in the Western Hemisphere, and why courage requires more than posting about the collapse from a comfortable chair. America does not need more spectators wearing the correct jersey. It needs citizens willing to thin...
Democrats Love Voters... Until They Vote Wrong | Interview on DC Dispatch with Kristi Leigh
On DC Dispatch with Kristi Leigh, I break down the remarkably democratic process of party elites waiting until voters have spoken—and then finding a convenient reason to replace their choice. We examine the serious allegations surrounding Graham Plattner, the suspicious timing of his exit, the media’s role as the party’s unpaid public-relations department, and why political machines would rather lose with a controllable candidate than win with someone who refuses to obey. We also discuss how algorithm-driven platforms manipulate public perception, divide Americans into profitable echo chambers, and why Pickax is building a more honest model that connec...
Mark Zuckerberg’s $800M Data Center Has Germ Drama | Interview on The Matt Gaetz Show
On The Matt Gaetz Show on OANN, Pickax CEO Jeff Dornik responds to reports linking wastewater contamination near Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta and its $800 million Project Cosmo data center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, back to Meta’s cooling system, after officials found a rare bacteria named in the segment as cubriotis gilriotidae and the city adopted a new policy prohibiting certain data center wastewater discharges. Dornik warns that communities are being asked to live next to massive data center warehouses while the long-term health impact of water exposure, power lines, EMF and low humming remains unknown.

DC Hijacked The Republic | John Strand | The Jeff Dornik Show
In this episode of The Jeff Dornik Show, Jeff sits down with John Strand, congressional candidate in Florida’s 19th District, for a hard-hitting conversation about his claim that Washington DC has hijacked the American constitutional republic through corruption, cowardice, Marxist infiltration, government tyranny, mass surveillance, broken elections, open borders, and a political class that keeps treating the Constitution like a decorative throw pillow at a donor retreat. Strand lays out why America must return to God-given rights, Judeo-Christian values, the 10th Amendment, local control, secure borders, homeschooling, abolishing the income tax, and reclaiming courage before AI, universal basic income, an...
Is Quantum AI a Satanic Trap? | Interview on Talk Truth
Jeff Dornik joins Talk Truth with Allan and Corri Hunsperger to warn that quantum computing, AI, transhumanism, Silicon Valley’s gnostic revival, China’s alleged Uyghur testing, Operation Paperclip, Elon Musk’s memory-erasing tech claims on Joe Rogan, and Big Tech’s push to replace God all point to a spiritual war hiding behind the shiny little sales brochure of progress.

AI Robots Are Coming for Your Kids | Interview on Ringside Politics with Jeff Crouere
On Ringside Politics with Jeff Crouere, I explained why the real race is not merely AI, but quantum technology, and why combining quantum computing with artificial intelligence creates a national security nightmare if China gets there first. I also broke down how massive data centers, centralized databases, humanoid robots, Neuralink, and AI-driven bureaucracies are building a future where power is consolidated in the hands of government, Big Tech, and the oligarchs while ordinary Americans are told to enjoy their efficient little digital cage. Because apparently liberty was nice while it lasted.

The Israel Fight Forgot Jesus | JD Hall | The Jeff Dornik Show
Jeff Dornik and JD Hall of Incite to Insight expose how the Christian Zionism fight over Israel has become political theater while almost nobody is preaching the Gospel, as they dig into Romans 11, Dispensationalism, Covenant Theology, Tucker Carlson, David Limbaugh, Charles Spurgeon, Darby, John MacArthur, and the uncomfortable biblical reality that Jews and Gentiles alike must repent and believe in Jesus Christ.

California’s Print-at-Home Ballot Scam Exposed | The Alan Nathan Show
On The Alan Nathan Show, Jeff Dornik breaks down California’s election system and explains why print-at-home ballots, mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting, unmonitored drop boxes, weak chain of custody, and judges refusing to enforce election laws have created a fraud-friendly machine with all the comforting transparency of a magician asking you not to look at his sleeves.
Jeff discusses Benny Johnson’s reporting, Bill Essayli’s warning about California voter ID standards, Gavin Newsom’s 2021 recall election, the polling collapse from a 51-49 race to a 65-35 result, and why the apathetic California GOP’s “Democrats are too stupid to st...
Elon’s AI Utopia Has Serpent Vibes | Interview on Financial Survival Network
Jeff Dornik joins Kerry Lutz on Financial Survival Network to expose Elon Musk’s AI-driven “communist utopia,” Sam Altman’s UBI rebrand, Melania Trump’s robot classroom push, President Trump’s reckless AI fast track, and Big Tech oligarchs trying to replace God with machines. Subtle, really.

California Built the Perfect Election Rig | Interview on Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid
Jeff Dornik joins Kim Kennedy on Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid to expose California’s Remote Accessible Vote by Mail program, where print-at-home ballots, weak signature verification, no voter ID, dead voters on the rolls, and election workers copying votes onto official ballots create what Jeff calls the perfect way to rig an election. But sure, keep telling us this is all about “democracy” while California counts ballots like it’s trying to find a missing sock in Gavin Newsom’s hair gel drawer.

China’s Quantum Heist Is Already Underway | Jeff Dornik on OANN with Chanel Rion
On Fine Point with Chanel Rion on OANN, Jeff Dornik explains why China’s quantum computing race is not some distant sci-fi subplot for people who alphabetize their server cables, but a direct national security threat already unfolding through stolen encrypted data, “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, nuclear secrets, banking vulnerabilities, military systems, and President Trump’s 2030 deadline to move high-value federal systems into post-quantum security before the bureaucratic sloth brigade gets outpaced by Beijing.

Trump's New Utopia Looks Like a Sci-Fi Nightmare | Jeff Dornik on The Shannon Joy Show
What happens when Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Big Tech, artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, quantum computing, and a growing surveillance infrastructure all move in the same direction? On The Shannon Joy Show, Jeff Dornik breaks down why the promises of technological abundance are masking a push toward centralized control, the erosion of private property, and the dismantling of individual liberty. From Musk's stated vision of a communist utopia powered by AI and Optimus robots to the broader technocratic agenda emerging from Silicon Valley and Washington, this conversation exposes the endgame that few people are willing to discuss.

California’s Election System Is Off the Rails | Interview on Real America's Voice
I joined America’s Voice on Real America’s Voice with Terrance Bates filling in for Steve Gruber to break down the Hollywood-level chaos unfolding in California politics, from Spencer Pratt exposing problems in the Los Angeles race to Steve Hilton’s uphill battle for governor. We dug into the real question voters are asking: does their vote actually count when mail-in ballots, print-at-home ballots, and Democrat-run election systems keep producing more “shenanigans” than a badly written Netflix reboot? California is not just a political mess, it is a warning sign for the rest of the country, and pretending otherwise is how you...

What if the world's largest AI data centers aren't just powering technology—they're laying the foundation for a new era of surveillance, digital control, and economic dependence?

As governments and tech giants promise convenience, efficiency, and progress, are we sleepwalking into a system that could fundamentally reshape human freedom? More importantly, how should believers respond wi...
Epstein Games, CIA Leaks & CA Ballots Exposed | Interview on Adult in the Room with Victoria Taft
I joined Victoria Taft on Adult in the Room to talk through the insanity of the modern news cycle, from CIA document chaos and biological threats to Epstein-themed games showing up where kids can access them, because apparently our culture looked at “protect the children” and decided that was more of a loose suggestion.
We also get into why kids do not need internet-connected devices shoved into their hands by schools, how public education trains compliance more than courage, and why California’s print-at-home ballot system deserves a lot more scrutiny than it’s getting. In other words, a perfec...
Davos Wants to Sell You Chemtrails | Peter A. Kirby
Today on The Jeff Dornik Show, Peter A.

Very humble of them.
We dig into Kirby’s research from Chemtrails Exposed, including the evidence he points to, the financial incentives behind weather control, and why the “climate change” narrative may be less about protecting the earth and more about controlling everything o...
AI Data Centers Are Coming for Your Town | Interview on Fox 5 DC

This is not simply about “technology moving forward,” as if progress is some sacred cow we are all supposed to salute while it drinks the local water supply and overloads the power grid.
The real issue is ownership, control, local resources, zoning, energy, water, and whether communities actually get a say before the AI industrial complex shows up with a government-backed shovel and a smile that says, “Trust us, this will only consum...
